Hello -
I am looking for help regarding a tough decision I have to make in a month. Last spring, I received a full scholarship to attend NYU Stern's full-time MBA program, but during that same time I got a job offer at a healthcare VC firm. Stern agreed to defer my admission and scholarship for 1-year to let me take advantage of the opportunity.
I now have to decide if I want to go to NYU for free in the fall - OR - continue to work at my healthcare VC firm for another year or two before re-applying to business school (potentially a better school with buy-side recruiting, but forfeiting my scholarship). My post-MBA goals are most likely healthcare growth equity or healthcare finance.
What do people think?
Thanks!
NYU Stern ($$$$) or Healthcare VC

Hi nish2345,
This decision sounds far too personal to be asking a group of absolute strangers for advice about. I suggest that you discuss these options with family and with any Business-minded associates whose opinions you value. For what it's worth, I don't think that there's a 'bad option' here, and you have plenty of time to decide either way.

It sounds like you are already where you want to be right? If that's the case, why go to business school at all? What I definitely wouldn't do is look at this as an opportunity to "trade up" to a "better" business school in two years.
